A two-piece box or even a truffle box is an original Italian product that first made its way to Europe in the 12th century. Its original name is Trattoria Magna, which translates directly into "alien wooden box". This two-piece box made of wood has always been a favorite item among Italian and European families for its elegant design and many uses. Two-piece boxes were originally used for storing perfumes, colognes, and other similar household chemicals, as well as being used as a measure of currency. It was a particularly useful item during the time when Italian shipping was popular because these wooden boxes could be shipped using wooden crates known as'cassone' which were measured based on how many holes there were in the boxes.
As time passed, two-piece boxes became more popular among Italian craftsmen who wanted to make exceptional-looking two-piece boxes to display their prized possessions in style. Two-piece boxes were also called lid and tray boxes which generally feature a detachable lid and the lower base of the same shape usually containing a lid made from thin sheets of metal called 'cassette'. Some two-piece boxes may also feature separately a number of drawers, compartments, or shelves inside the lid. In the latter half of the 18th century, the two-piece boxes had come a long way when ordinary wooden boxes were replaced by metal, glass, and even wood veneer. Today, two-piece boxes still feature an attractive design and are a popular storage item among Italian craftsmen.

Generally speaking, two-piece boxes have two sections: the lid and the base. Most of the time the base of the two-piece box is made from wood and the lids may be made from transparent or opaque materials. The base can either be secured on the bottom or on the side of the lid. Lids that are secured on the side are known as graffiti bars while those that are secured on the bottom are called corsages.
Most two-piece boxes nowadays have the capacity to hold not only individual articles but whole collections. Many Italian manufacturers use this capability of the two-piece boxes to present beautiful Italian home products in customized forms. For instance, you can get beautiful Italian vases and bowls for your Italian garden as well as beautiful ceramic containers to store your cutlery. You can even get beautiful two-piece boxes to store your wedding album as well as Italian crystal wine goblets. If you wish, you can even get a two-piece box to serve as a wine rack or a place to store old wine.
The designs of two-piece boxes vary according to the preferences of the manufacturer or the designer. Usually, these boxes are designed to be combined with other similar articles in unique ways so that the end product will look totally different. For instance, some manufacturers will use a two-piece box in order to house a set of copper or gold candlesticks. On the other hand, some companies will design a two-piece box to house a set of vintage silverware in unique ways.
There are two-piece boxes available in the market. The most common type is the upright type. It consists of a tall, thin box with two flaps at the bottom and a lid that is hinged at the top. The top flap is hinged to open the entire box so that you can see all the contents inside. This type is good for placing single objects because the lid can hide any small defect that may appear in the item being packed.

Another type of two-piece boxes that is slightly larger is the can-opener type. The two flaps are hinged together and the bottom flap is not easily visible. This type is particularly useful for larger, bulkier items like watches and jewelry because the top flap can serve as a handle. When opening the box, you can grasp the watch tightly without letting it fall to the floor. This is a good choice for small items that need to be packed in a very efficient manner.
You can choose from many types of packing materials when creating two-piece boxes. The most popular ones are the plastic sheets, which come in rolls similar to bubble wrap. These plastic sheets are available in various thicknesses and can be cut to fit any specific size you want. Alternatively, you can choose from different kinds of wood like cedar and teak which look more elegant and rich than their cheaper counterparts. The latter also looks more natural when paired with fine silks and linens.
